What unit is vertical distance measured in on a treadmill?

The treadmills at my gym have an option to run on a desired incline. I get the concept of measuring the vertical distance, but it gives no unit of measurement. My time is measured in minutes, my distance in miles, my calories per hour, etc. But vertical distance is just a number. Anyone know?

When you increase the angle of the treadmill you are still traveling the same distance (miles). You will just burn more calories because your body will be working harder.... Show More
